Electronic Kan-Ban

For some companies Kan-Ban increases efficiency by ensuring the timely arrival of supplies. Advances in technology allow Kan-Ban to be performed electronically, allowing for fewer errors due to misplaced cards/paperwork. But moving to a paperless Kan-Ban has other benefits as well.

Inventory Management Software

Web based inventory management software offers traceability or genealogy capability. See Inventory and warehouse management for more applications.

  • View trends of supplies needed with powerful reports
  • Track supplier speed and cost so you can choose the most efficient suppliers
  • Real-time alerts when supplies have not arrived on time
  • View current inventory levels on hand-held devices so you have the information anywhere
  • Charts, graphs, and other tools allow you to visualize the information you are gathering
  • EDI (Electronic Data Interface) allows for expedited ordering of parts

To take advantage of the above listed benefits with an Electronic Kan-Ban system, you should look into a tailored system. Only tailored software maximizes Kan-Ban capabilities while preserving a simplistic user interface.
